Only those specimens can be compared, which are found below the groundwater level. Results obtained from North German areas with Scandinavian glacial deposits, are satisfactory; results from other areas, however, are less satisfying. Furthermore, there are differences between the interior and the exterior of bones. It is necessary to compare only specimens which, on one side, are taken from the same kind of sediments, and, on the other side, have been lying in groundwater of similar fluorine content. With regard to the number of statements made in our expose, it may be concluded that by this method we may compile usable diagrams for regions containining Scandinavian glacial deposits as well as also for other areas.deE&G – Quaternary Science Journal; Vol. 7 No 1; 21-28551 Geology, hydrology, meteorology, norddeutschland, süddeutschland, pliozän, quartär, knochen, zähne, fluorapatittest, röntgenographische fluor-datierungsmethode, fluor, westdeutschlandDatierungsversuche im Quartär Westdeutschlands mit Hilfe des FluortestesDataCiteGeozon Science Media
